Hi folks, I'd like to get an idea of who is using KerberosIV and KerberosV support in Coda. I'm about to get around to repairing bugs, adding usability features, etc. I'll be reviewing existing submissions to the bugs_at_coda address, but would love to hear any more general comments or suggestions you might have that do not strictly constitute 'bugs'. This includes the mapping issue (how to map Kerberos identities to Coda identities), authorization issues, not to mention ease of use issues (such as: we always use this command line flag, why isn't it the default, or that the automatic invocation of kinit is a pain, etc). Kerberos support is important to us in that it allows easy integration with existing distributed systems and a single-login. Because of existing setups here at CMU, we have tested K4 support more extensively than K5; as such K5 comments would be particularly welcome :). Feel free to either respond privately or to the list. If you didn't know there was K4 or K5 support, you can download it (if you live in the US :-( ) at http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/dist/ Robert N Watson robert@fledge.watson.org http://www.watson.org/~robert/ PGP key fingerprint: 03 01 DD 8E 15 67 48 73 25 6D 10 FC EC 68 C1 1C Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cmu.edu/ TIS Labs at Network Associates, Inc. http://www.tis.com/ SafePort Network Services http://www.safeport.com/Received on 1999-01-19 09:17:24
